solicitor/barrister


Explanation:
The solicitor gives advices and doesn't represent the client in court.
The barrister represents the client in court.

"In Great Britain, Australia, and several other common law countries, there are generally two kinds of lawyers - solicitors and barristers. Solicitors may practice before lower courts, but their main (and traditionally only) work is in legal work that other than court appearances, such as legal advice, conveyancing, wills. Barristers may practice before lower, superior and high courts. Traditionally (and still for major cases) both a solicitor (for advice) and a barrister (for representation) were required for court appearences."
